Breeding from Sound Mares.

The National Lave Stock Journal saws
that an inspection of mares kept for breed
ing purposes on many farms will show that
the plan followed has been to retain those
that owing to blemishes are not saleable
Too little regard is paid to the fact that
frequently these blemishes are such as are
likely to be inherited by the offspring.
When mares are bought, too, for use as
breeders, those that sell for lower price
on account of defects are frequently taken
by farmers because they can be obtained
for less money. Chances are taken on being
able to grow the colts and dispose of them
before the defects, if inherited, make their
appearance. These, however, frequently
develop before the colt is old enough for
sale and the result is loss, for the care and
expense Of raising blemished colt is quite
as much as that Of raising one that will find
ready sale. It will be found a much bet
Ter plan to keep fewer mares and have those
sound and well formed, such as may be de-
pended upon when mated with the proper
stations to produce stock that will find
ready purchasers at remunerative prices.
IL VIII be found poor economy TO follow the
pan OF breeding from defective dams or

cases, prove a disappointment.

Determination of the knights of Labor

INDIANAPOLIS, November 24th.-General
Master Workman Powderiy, of the Knights
OF Labor, IN response to a request from a
prominent Knight of this city, urging him
to reconsider his announced determination
to retire from the leadership of the order,
has written letter in which he saws he
cannot consistently do so, and that it would
be unfair to ask him to retain a position
which he does not want and which he is
confident another man can fill to the better
advantage of the order at large. His life.
since taking up the cause of labor, has been
one constant struggle against the enemies
OF labor and the elements of discord. Such
a lie has been most exciting, and has left
him legacy he never can part with, in the
shape OF heart trouble, which may do its
work at any moment.
1t would not be becoming for me-"
says Mr.. Powderly, " to speak of the finan-
cial sacrifices l have made for the Order,

willing to make the same sacrifices again

RAILROAD CHANGE.
Sidney Dillon Elected President of the
Oregon TranscontInentaI.

ICopyight, 1887, by the California associated Press
New York, November 24th.-[Special. l.
Elijah Smith has resigned the Presidency of
the Oregon TranscontinentaI COMPANY, and
Sidney Dillon, for many years President of
the Union Pacific, has been chosen as his
successor. 1t had been known for some time
that radical changes in the management of
the road were about to be made, and the
return OF Henry Willard to the control of
the Northern Pacific was merely the pre-
lude to further restoration. 1t had been
supposed that Willard would take the Presi-
dency of the Oregon Transcontinental as
he might have taken that of the Northern
Pacific. His agreement with his Berlin
friends was modified so that he could be
come a Director of the Northern Pacific,
and possibly it might have been stretched
to enable him to be in name, as we'll as in
fact, the controlling power. The fact that
Dillon, and not Willard, succeeds Elijah
Smith in the Presidency of the principal
Oregon company, will bea surprise to Wall
street. The change will not take place un-
til December 1st, but it was agreed upon
yesterday.

THE FRENCH CRISIS.
Grevy VIII Resign and Ribot VIII Form
a Cabinet

UASfS VIII heSiSn ana RiDOS VIII Form
n Cabinet.
PARIS, November 24th.-Grevy has re-
quested Ribot to form Cabinet. and
charged him to convey to the Chamber his
message Of resignation. Ribot consented.
but advised Grevy that as the message was
political act, the tenor of which required
the approval of the Cabinet, the President
ought to confer with the retiring Ministers.
Grevy accordingly summoned Rouvier and
his colleagues.
The Rbot Cabinet will probably include
NJ. Flourens, NJ. Waldeck, Rousseau, NJ.
Sado, Carnot ard General Ferron.
The Radical journals strongly oppose the
election of General Saussier to the Presi
dency.
1t is reported that Ribot, in a second
interview with Grevy, advised the Presi-
dent to retain the Rouvier Ministry in office
until he had resigned.
GREvY CHARGED WITH TREASON.
PARIS, November 24th.-The extreme
Radicals are trying to prepare charge of
treason against Grevy for his personal
action toward the Government of Peru and
the French tribunals in the Dreyfus guano
affair.
CREWS MESSAGE.
PARIS, November 24th.-Rouvier, on be-
ing shown the text of Grevy's message, OBJ
Iected to 1t as too criminatory, saving it
would cause storm in the Chamber.
Rlbot overcame Rouvier's objection, but
he himself is urging Gregy to modify the
message.
Grevy appears to have greatly aged within
the last few days.
THE REPUBLICANS VERY UNEASY.
The Republican party desires to hold
caucus before Congress meets, in order to
insure unanimous vote and avoid the
chance of split, which might enable the
Opportunists, led by Ferry, to bring in
General Saussier with the help of the
Monarchists.

AT MONTEREY,
The Soldiers Home Commissioners Look

Copyright, 1857, by the California Associated Press
MONTEREY, November 24th.-The United
States Commissioners for the Soldiers
Home arrived here this forenoon at 11:3O
on special train from San Francisco, and
were received by some of the most promi-
nent men in the county, among whom
were Hon. Paris kilburn and Hon. Jesse
d. Carr, from Salinas, Senator B. V. Sar-
gent, W. ]. Towle, J. o. Johnson, II. J. b.
Palmer and Hon. w. A. Kearney. The
Commissioners were Immediately escorted
to the Old Fort, which place is put forth by
this town as the site which should be
chosen for the Home. The Commissioners
were very favorably impressed with the
Fort Reservation, and after surveying it
carefully the party drove off to the reser-
voir, from whence the Pacific Improve
ment Company get their water From this
place they drove to Pacific Grove, and from
there to the Hotel Del Monte, at which
place they sat down to lunch.
The party left for Santa Cruz at O'Clock,
at which place they will stay part of to-
morrow, and from there will go south.
Colonel Crocker assured the Commission
ers that they should have all the land they
needed, although there would be some de-
lay in securing the Fort Reservation from
the Government.

iCopyrig, 1887, by a.e California; Associated Pressl
WASHINGTON, November 24th.-[Special.
There is a diversity of opinion as to the
effect of the ATTORNEY. Generals recent
opinion relative TO tie law of 1887, affect
ing lands within the railroad indemnity
limits. The law of 1887 was intended to
give justice to people who have bought
lands OF the railroad companies which it is
alleged the roads had no right to sell, and
which, through the subsequent forfeiture
of grants, may be thrown back into the
public domain, when the first settlers quat-
ting upon it may enter it under the public
land laws, in spite of any title which a
purchaser may have acquired from the rail-
roads. The Attorney-Generars opinion
construes this law as applying to indemnity
lands which may be thrown open to settle
ment, as well as granted lands which NAV
be forfeited
The railroads in the West and Northwest
have many of them selected indemnity
lands for lands lost in place." and filed
their selections in the General Land Office.
The dilatory action of the Land Office in
the adjustment of grants has prevented
many of the roads from securing lands,
but 1t has been the habit to sell selected
lands under the impression that there was
no question about securing them, and in
Wisconsin, Minnesota and Dakota large
farms, embracing sometimes thousands
of acres, have been pun chased of the roads,
cropped and improved, and their values
raised to thousands of dollars.
The Interior Department will not recog-
nize any of the selections made by the roads,
and having thrown all indemnity lands
open to settlement, Squatters have rushed
in and covered every quarter of
these magnificent farms. A man frequently
finds a settlers tent in his wheat-field
while another has improvised a stock
range in his front-yard. Each of these
squatters have valid rights under the land
laws to 160 acres of his farm, as the road
could convey no title, and the law of 1887
simply gives the man who has purchased
the land a preferred right to purchase from
the United States at 81 25 per acre, and to
look to the road subsequently for redress.
